Donna Harris was crossing North Main Street around noon Sunday, as she was traveling east on Oakland Street, when her 1995 GM model collided with the Cadillac sedan shown here.
Harris was charged with driving on a suspended license.
No one was injured in the accident, however, the Cadillac did leave the roadway and drove over a fire hydrant. It can be seen by clicking on the photo below.
The Monticello Police, Fire, and City crews were all called to the scene. Lock & Keys removed the Caddy from the fire hydrant.
The fire plug was installed on a “break-away” plug, so that it safely snapped off, instead of breaking the supply pipe, and showering the area.

Thanksgiving has rolled around again. Although we have many reasons to give thanks we are often so caught up in “celebrations” that we can’t find time to truly “give thanks”. Thanksgiving, like every other holiday, seems to be turning into just another long vacation weekend when we hurry and scurry to “have a good time” as opposed to a day when we really do “count our blessings” and give thanks!
One very important, yet often overlooked, blessing truly is freedom and this great country, the United States of America.
This week I have a rather poignant recollection of a “last Thanksgiving”. It is an ever timely story about young men, the wars they fight and the remembrances they too often leave behind. Read the rest of this entry »

Recently, MIS had a school election. Only 5th grade students were allowed to run an for office. The candidates were Madeline Griffin, Summer Hawkins, Karlie Fowler, Zac Mc Kinstry, Luke Lane, Davis Frost, Stacy Harris, and C.J. Lindsey. Each candidate made a campaign speech. The speeches were broadcasted to every classroom.
After the speeches were made, the student body voted and narrowed it down to two candidates. Davis Frost and Luke Lane were the final candidates for President and Vice President. Davis Frost was elected President and Luke Lane was elected Vice President.
These two young men will make a great team, as they represent our school!
